I'll give you the bad sense you have the Good

A really good one would be how the media ignores Ron Paul

double standards /propaganda, Zionism, israel gets away with crimes, but palestine dose not, just last week the UN vetoed Palestine for them to be in the UN, North korea has done more harm than palestine, and they are allowed in the UN but palestine is not, and if you look at a lot of maps palestine is not even on there, You never hear about the crimes Israel dose, but when palestine does something you hear about it.

here is use of a cartoon from WB in the 60's being pro Zionist, even when people didn't even know what that was, even thou most people don't know today, even thou they should know.

The typical examples would be bullying online, or harassment.

But, social media presents an inherent danger in of itself because it puts young children in a social setting where they may be engaging adults in discussions that are too mature for them. The show To Catch a Predator is a perfect example of the instant danger children face when dealing with social media.

Second, it is a rapid way to spread information, or misinformation before all the facts have been accounted for; and it puts innocent until proven guilty in jeopardy.
